Joss Whedon's 'In Your Eyes' casts Michael Stahl-David, Zoe Kazan

Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield, Person of Interest) and Zoe Kazan (Revolutionary Road, Bored to Death) will star as Dylan and Rebecca in the independent movie, reports Deadline.

Rebecca is described as an attractive, skinny and awkward woman, who is married to a doctor in Connecticut. Dylan lives in a trailer in New Mexico after serving time in jail for robbery after refusing to name his accomplices.

The pair share a strange connection, as they can hear and see each other, despite never having met.

The sci-fi romance is written by Whedon, with Brin Hill directing. Production is expected to begin soon in Los Angeles and Boston.

Joss Whedon's upcoming The Avengers will arrive in cinemas worldwide on April 27 in the UK and on May 4 in the US.
